The Princess and the Presents

The Princess and the Presents

High up in the tower, little Ruby lounged in bed. "My special day must be the best or else " the princess said.

Princess Ruby is the most spoiled princess you could ever meet. And when it's her birthday, there are so many presents that the palace literally bulges at the seams. But when the palace and gifts finally collapse on the poor king, the tiny tyrant realizes that she has overlooked the most precious thing of all.
